3/2 and 5/2 solenoid, manual and mechanical valves, valve islands and flow controls — SMC, Camozzi, Festo and others. Standard items within 24 h from Riga, equivalents by code.
From 5/2 solenoid valves to valve islands and flow controls — we match the right valve to your function and flow.
Electrically operated directional valves for cylinders and actuators. SMC VF/SY, Camozzi Series 3/4, Festo VUVG.

| Function | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/2 | Single-acting cylinders, vacuum ejectors, blow-off, pilot signals | NC (normally closed) — standard; NO — when it must be open without a signal |
| 5/2 | Double-acting cylinders — extend/retract | Monostable (spring) or bistable (2 coils) — bistable stays in position if the signal is lost |
| 5/3 | When the cylinder must stop mid-stroke or be released | Mid position: closed (holds), exhaust (releases) or pressurised |
| 2/2 | Liquids, gases, steam — open/close | Process valves (ASCO, Bürkert, Camozzi) |
Calculate from cylinder volume and desired speed. An undersized valve = slow cylinder, and pressure won’t “fix” it.
M5 for small, G1/8 typically up to Ø40, G1/4 up to Ø63, G3/8–G1/2 for large. Port follows flow, not the other way round.
24 V DC — industrial standard; 230 V AC — in older machines. With manual override for maintenance. Ex version for hazardous areas.
From 3–4 valves a valve island on a shared base pays off: one air feed, fewer tubes, easier to maintain.

Give us an SMC valve code — we find an interchangeable one with a better price or lead time.
Competitor code → an interchangeable part. Fast and free.
SMC, Camozzi, Festo, Aventics, Norgren, Bürkert, ASCO.
The numbers mean ports/positions. A 3/2 (3 ports, 2 positions) drives single-acting cylinders; a 5/2 drives double-acting cylinders — extend/retract. A 5/3 adds a mid position.
Key: function (3/2, 5/2, 5/3), port size, voltage (24V DC, 230V AC) and flow. Give us these and we’ll match — or send an existing code for an equivalent.
Yes. We offer interchangeable valves (Camozzi, Festo, Aventics, etc.) — send the code and we’ll find a match with a better price or lead time.
Standard valves from our Riga stock — shipped within 24 h. The rest from the EU warehouse in a few days.
Send a code or function (3/2, 5/2, voltage) — we reply with price and availability the same day.
